I am wondering what the best fitting/performing aftermarket turbo outlets (from the turbo to the downpipe) are for the S13 motor. I had a "Greddy" outlet that did not fit correctly and leaked badly (I was told it was a Greddy piece by the guy who installed it (Ed Chu / Rnd factory)... one of the *many* nightmares I went through with him... I ended up having to buy another turbo and spend over $2000 in repairs). My new mechanic took that piece out and put in the stock outlet.

I would like to get another aftermarket outlet.. one that fits and works well... preferably JDM.

Any suggestions? What brand has worked well for you guys?

thx

I have a Greddy turbo elbow on my s13 t25,And it fit's perfect with no leaks at all.Greddy makes the best elbow,Because of the wall in between the wastegate and the turbine,And the outlet is 75mm.But you can always just get a megan racing one.There very good for the price.

I picked up a megan racing outlet for like 85 shipped off of ebay and it fits perfect, good quality and came with all the hardware you need. Greddy's are nice too..it's not often you get something that doesnt work from them.

i'm sorry you've had bad dealings with him. he's not the greatest guy.

i have one of the hks knock offs. finish was ok and bolted to my megan downpipe and stock turbo well. dont trust the turbo>elbow gasket that comes with it, it doesnt fit well at all. spend the money and get a decent gasket.

I put a greddy one on a friends car with a s15 turbo and greddy downpipe. It fit great (cleared steering shaft without any problems) and it doesn't leak.
